In April 2012 Prevezanos was named as House Beautiful’s "Next Wave designer". More recently, he has been featured in InStyle and Lonny, and has curated sales for both One King’s Lane and 1stdibs. For his contribution to this year's Legends of LaCienaga event, which takes place May 7-9, Prevezanos takes over the window of Stark Home. With the theme "Novel Interiors" as this year's driving force, Prevezanos chose the classic Aesop's fable, The Crow & The Pitcher, as the jumping off point for his design.

What inspired you to choose the novel/book you have selected for this year’s LCDQ Legends of La Cienega event?Growing up Greek, Aesop’s fables were my bedtime stories. I loved how these simple little stories were deceptively clever. In The Crow & The Pitcher, a thirsty crow uses stones to raise the level of water in a pitcher to quench its thirst.
